Well, I made a few changes myself, and hey, I guess it's not even the same recipe, but this was the one I printed out and used as a guide, so... I used dried split peas- yellow and green, because it was what I had. I also added carrots because I thought it would look nice, I didn't add the cream because- well, I guess I just wasn't in the mood for such a creamy soup. Instead of using a food processor, I used a potato masher, we like the consistancy better. And I added approx 1 t of Herbes de Provence. I think the herbs added SO much wonderful flavor, I can't see making it without! Great recipe, LOVE the addition of garlic!! Terrific! Thanks so much for posting!
